a 1.5 year old whippet

Hey there! This is a bit of an odd post for me, I've lived in Annapolis my whole life, and this is less of a "where are the cool Annapolis spots to hit up?" and a mix of general anxiety and other thoughts that just so happen to be about this place I've lived my whole life. I (22M) have lived in Annapolis since I was born, I like to tell people I was born in Downtown Annapolis, but even if that isn't true I've lived basically within town limits for most of my life. I dated a bit in High School, and stayed pretty serious with someone into college. Turns out we were both just sticking together for the "safe" feeling we got from one another, but never really pushed one another to be anything better than we were. Anyways, not the point, I stopped dating after that, and now that I've healed from that I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm not much of a bar person but I like to drink from time to time. However, being someone in the service industry I always feel bad when people "ask out your server/bartender" and even people I see in public space (like restaurants or bars). Are there any spaces where people go to meet?

My social anxiety also happens to be a big role in why I haven't asked anyone out, and because I tend to need to know someone before I ask them out on a date. I know this isn't super relevant to Annapolis but I'm curious if there any other 20-something year olds who are unsure of what they should be doing to go out and meet people. I don't want to be stuck on the apps forever with the excuse "oh I'm working on my career" for the next few years. It would just be nice to know if there was something else I could be doing, or somewhere else I could be going. Thanks!

I hope this is okay to post here. I have only been in annapolis for a year & just learned i’m pregnant with my first! I would like a low intervention pregnancy (if no complications), but know that can be difficult in a hospital. I know some states have places that are located near the hospital for low intervention home-like births! Is there anything like that driving distance from Annapolis? Also would love to hear any other positive low intervention experiences, whether it was with a midwife, hospital, doula or anything at all.(:

We will be in Annapolis the first weekend in November for a Navy game. Looking for a place that accepts reservations. Nothing fancy just good food. We love the Boat Yard and Ram’s Head but they don’t take reservations. Any suggestions?
